How to round double to nearest whole number and then convert to a float?

Question

I am using java.util.Random to generate a random gaussian. I need to convert this gaussian to a float value. However gaussian is a double, so I need some way to either round

Answer 1

Here is a quick example:

public class One {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        double a = 4.56777;
        System.out.println( new Float( Math.round(a)) );

    }

}

the result and output will be: 5.0
the closest upper bound Float to the starting value of double a = 4.56777
in this case the use of round is recommended since it takes in double values and provides whole long values
